Center of Mass Revisited N Find the center of mass of a system with three particles of masses 1.0 kg, 2.0 kg, and 3.0 kg kept at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side 1.0 m (Fig. P10.15). FIGURE P10.15
A uniform rod of mass 200 g and length 100 cm is free to rotate in a horizontal plane around a fixed vertical axis through its center, perpendicular to its length. Two small beads, each of mass 20 g, are mounted in grooves along the rod. Initially, the two beads are held by catches on opposite sides of the rod’s center, 10 cm from the axis of rotation. With the beads in this position, the rod is rotating with an angular velocity of 10.0 rad/s. When the catches are released, the beads slide outward along the rod. (a) What is the rod’s angular velocity when the beads reach the ends of the rod? (b) What is the rod’s angular velocity if the beads fly off the rod?

For solid ojbject whose mass distribution does not allow for a simple determination of the center of mass by symmetry, the sums must be generalized to integrals where x and y are the coordinates of a small piece of an object that has mass dm. The integration is over the whole of the object. Consider a thin rod of length L, mass M, and cross-sectional area A. Let the origin of the coordinates be at the left end of the rod and the positive x-axis lie along the rod. a. If the density p = M/V of the object is uniform, perform the integration described above to show that the x-coordinate of the center of mass of the rod is at its geometrical center. b. If the density of the object varies linearly with x - that is, p = ax, where a is a positive constant - calculate the x-coordinate of the rod's center of mass.
